[SC 2012 SP1 beta][OSD] not able to activate the "Apply" by using SetDirtyFlag or use "dirty" property

[catsky]

We face an issue when do the OSD OEM integration with SCCM 2012 SP1 beta. In task sequence editor, we add our customized step action control, and follow the step as MSDN indicated:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc143499.aspx . We want to active the "apply" button in task sequence editor by using the API SetDirtyFlag(true) or Dirty = true when things changed in our action control. However, "apply" button is not enabled after call this method.

 

We use the same logic to perform this task, and no issues happened on SCCM 2007 R2 or SCCM2012.

 

 

 

SCCM2012SP1beta has this kind of issue, but SCCM2007R2/2012 don't.

 

Env: windows2008r2 + SCCM2012SP1 beta

Steps to Reproduce: (steps could be found on MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc143499.aspx )

1. find the required dll under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin on SCCM2012SP beta server, and reference these assemblies in my own project

---assemblies list----

AdminUI.Common.dll

AdminUI.DialogFoundation.dll

AdminUI.OsdCommon.dll

AdminUI.TaskSequenceEditor.dll

AdminUI.WqlQueryEngine.dll

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ApplicationManagement.dll

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ApplicationManagement.Extender.dll

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.DialogFramework.dll

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe.config

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.dll

------------------------

 

2. add event handler to my customized action control, e.g. for a text field, add an event handler once content changed. In the handler, set dirty flag by

leverage the API "Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SmsPageControl.SetDirtyFlag(bool" to active the "apply" button as we always do. Since this method is deprecated in SP1 dll, we also try set "Dirty" property to "true" as indicated. However, neither of them succeed to enable the "apply" button

 

---code---

SetDirtyFlag(true);

//Dirty = true;

3. however the "apply" button doesn't active at all. if we click "ok" button, the changes doesn't save either.

the user will not be able to save the any changes in my customized action control. It will be very annoying. So it is a must fix defect.
